No other team in European football are scoring goals quite like Manchester City at the moment.

Pep Guardiola's side reached the 100-goal mark on Sunday when Danilo's effort deflected in and the Premier League tally was then stretched to 102 in the 3-0 win over Huddersfield.

The rampant Blues have scored more goals than any other team in Europe's top leagues - more than even PSG and Barcelona.

What's more impressive than just the sheer number of goals City are notching up, perhaps, is how many players have been involved in scoring and setting them up - and that is what could give City an edge over league leaders Liverpool as the title race hots up.

In a list of the top 55 goal contributors in the Premier League this season - which combines goals and assists - City have eight players, far more than any other team and double Liverpool's representation of four.

While a City player doesn't enter the list until 5th place - with Mohamed Salah, Eden Hazard, Harry Kane and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang leading the way - they dominate after that.

Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling have both contributed 17 goals with Sergio Aguero one behind with 16, all three of them are in the top ten.

Bernardo Silva ranks 17th with 11 contributions and his namesake David Silva is placed at 34th with eight.

Meanwhile, Gabriel Jesus and Riyad Mahrez with seven and Ilkay Gundogan with six rank 41st, 42nd and 54th, respectively.

Compared to Liverpool whose only entries are their deadly front three of Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane, alongside Xherdan Shaqiri, it shows City have a clear advantage.

Liverpool are relying heavily on Salah who has contributed 23 goals this season and then Firmino and Mane who have contributed 22 between them, whereas City have several players who can create and score goals, from all over the pitch.

If one of Liverpool's attacking trio were to be injured a good chunk of their goals threat could dry up, while City have the depth to be able to cope with injuries, as they've proved throughout the season.

Not only that, City are far more creative from midfield areas than Liverpool. No Reds' midfielder ranks in the list whereas City have Bernardo, Silva and Gundogan.

And all this has been achieved without Kevin de Bruyne, who would surely have been high up the rankings had his season not been mired by injuries.

The Belgian midfielder made the most assists in the Premier League last season with 16 and now that he's back playing again he'll no doubt start racking up his tally for this season.

The fact that City have been so good this season and scored so many goals without their top playmaker just gives more credence to the strength in depth City have, how good they are at scoring goals - and why they could catch up with Liverpool yet.
